Will the view from this magnifier clear the rear iron sight on an MP15 without having to buy a riser mount?

No, however, the one I bought came with a riser mount. It is model SCP MF 3WQS. Mine is mounted on a S&W Sport, and I love it. Good luck and happy shooting.

2:03 PM (2 hours ago)to Amazon I am using the UTG CQB Red/Green Dot Optic Model SCP-DS3840W. I only use the rifle for targets and this works great. We shoot at 4" steel gong targets from 100 yards and only miss when it is shooter error. This model has locking windage and elevation adjustments. The fellow I shoot with does not have locking adjustments on his optic and has had to reset each time we shoot. I am very happy with my setup. In order to mount both you will have to have a top rail on your handguard. I replaced my stock handguard with the UTG SSSR Model 4/15, easy install. Hope this all helps. 2:03 PM (2 hours ago)to Amazon I am using the UTG CQB Red/Green Dot Optic Model SCP-DS3840W. I only use the rifle for targets and this works great.

Possibly. But there is a large height difference between the scope mount and the forward picatinny rail. With the correct riser on the magnifier it might work. But I don't know how well it will work with sight and magnifier on 2 different rails. But I don't know if you can find a riser for the magnifier that will still allow you to use the iron sights. Which was important to me. Because expensive optics probably will not fail. But iron sights always work. And the m1a has phenomenal iron sights.

I would think you could mount it on a high rise see through bracket but I don't know how or if it will affect sighting in the red dot

With this riser I can still see the front sight in my optics, but it is below the red dot by a bit, so it may not be high enough for you to use the flip up sight too. Hope that helps....

Yes, the picatinny is how it is mounted. As for the sights, it would be totally dependent on what kind of scope you are using. I personally used a Bushnell 3x9x40 with this riser and my sight lens had roughly 1/2'' clearance above my rail.

If you are talking about an A2 style fixed front sight, than YES, you ABSOLUTELY need a riser mount to clear the front sight with this scope. The included quick detach mount is very low profile, and if you mount directly to the receiver rails the front sight post will totally block your view if you have an A2 style front sight. I had to buy a 1 inch riser for it to clear the A2 sight

I mounted my Weaver K4 scope and later, a Bushnell TRS-25 on my 10/22 directly to the Weaver rail. No riser is needed.

No, but none of the others will either. The crosshairs will be all you see from 3x and up. Only on low power will you even see the front sight. Now you may get lucky like I did, when my scope is on low power (1x to 2.5x) I can see and use the front sight post, but this is a freak bit of luck, but not guarenteed. I say get it anyway, if you feel it's too low you can buy an inexpensive riser

I mounted standard flip up iron sights in my AR. You can see the sights great right through the multi dot. Don't know why the reticle on top or a later on the side wouldn't work also. Very versital!

I have an H&K; 91 clone and there is no problem. I have a friend that has fixed forward sight on his AR 15 and he Googled it and found an answer that someone else "did not need a riser" on his.

I mounted it in order to install a Bushnel TRS red dot, so no you can no longer use the iron Ruger sights the way I have it set up.

I don't believe you would even need the riser on the 10/22. I assume you would mount the picatanny rail or the rail which came with the rifle on top of the receiver and then the optic on top of the rail. This should give you the perfect sight alignment without the need of any riser.

If you are referring to the front sight "co-witnessing" through the reticle in your scope, I can't say for certain since my recent build has "NO" iron sights, just a scope. I know this mount is specifically designed for the AR platform to allow what you are talking about. Sorry I couldn't be more help

Yes. If you're not using iron sights, then the regular mount will also work and will also have room for a 3X magnifier.

Any idea what size riser would be needed to allow this to co-witness with the iron sights on a Beretta CX4?

i use the medium riser on a s&w; m&p; 15-22 on which is mounted a bushnell trs-25 red dot. the mbus rear folding sight "appears" to co-witnesses perfectly with the red dot and mbus front folding sight. i use the word "appears" because the co-witness was completed with a bore sight and not by target firing.

Without a riser, the front sight is visible, but not a distraction. However, I don't mind it, with a rear buis you can cowitness pretty well, and almost zero the dot with your irons.
